As we all know, Wu Zetian was first a concubine of Emperor Taizong of Tang and Li Shimin. However, after following Li Shimin for 12 years, his status has not been promoted, and he has not given birth to a son and a half daughter for Li Shimin. According to ancient tradition, such a concubine who has nowhere to go is required to be buried. So Li Shimin asked her before she died: "I am gone, what can you do?" Wu Zetian escaped with 8 words. Which 8 words exactly? Listen to shi jun to give everyone a slow talk.
Wu Zetian's mother Yang Shi was a well-known leftover woman earlier, because of her high vision and fine picking, she has not been married. Yang and Tang Gaozu Li Yuan were distant relatives, so Li Yuan took the initiative to give her to the newly widowed warrior. Li Yuan is not a pit Yang clan, although this samurai is a little older, but also has some skills, the family is also thick, and is regarded by Li Yuan as a minister of the humerus, so Li Yuan has promoted this family affair.
Yang
After passing through the door, Yang gave birth to three daughters for the samurai, namely the eldest daughter Wu Shun, the second daughter Wu Zetian, and the third daughter Wu Shi (the name is not available). But when Wu Zetian was 12 years old, The Samurai Wentai went on a crane. After the samurai left, Wu Zetian's mother and daughter did not have a good life in the samurai family, and they were often bullied and ridiculed by their cousins Wu Weiliang, Wu Huaiyun and Wu Yuanshuang. How had Yang Ever suffered from this kind of qi? Enraged, he moved back to Chang'an with his daughter from Jingzhou.

Because of their origins, the Yang clan often went in and out of the aristocratic circle in the past. Although her appearance is now decaying, her daughter is still young! In order to return to high society, the Yang family took their daughter around to attend the banquet of the giants. Coincidentally, in November of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang drove the Luoyang Palace. This important news gave Yang's hope. Therefore, under the deliberate arrangement of yang, 14-year-old Wu Zetian appeared in front of Li Shimin.
At that time, although Wu Zetian had not yet grown up, he had already begun to show his flattery. Therefore, Li Shimin put Wu Zetian into the harem, sealed the Five Pin Talents, and gave him the title of "Wu Mei". During the period when Wu Zetian first entered the palace, Li Shimin was quite interested in her and often took her with him. One day, Li Shimin took Wu Zetian to see his famous horse, the Lion Horse. This BMW, which paid tribute from the Western Regions, had a violent personality and no one could surrender. Wu Zetian said she had a way.

Li Shimin became interested and asked, "What can you do?" Wu Zetian said, "As long as you give your concubine three things, you can surrender this fierce horse." Li Shimin asked, "Which three?" Wu Zetian: "One is an iron whip, the second is an iron whip, and the third is a dagger." First whip it with an iron whip, and if it does not, hammer its head with an iron hammer. If he did not obey, he stabbed him in the throat with a dagger. Li Shimin greatly admired the woman's ingenuity, and at the same time was secretly shocked by Wu Zetian's fierceness.

Later, Taishi ordered Li Chunfeng to divinate and say, "Female lord Chang." Folk also widely spread the saying of the "Secret Book" that "after Tang III, the female protagonist Wu Wang dynasty has the world." Li Shimin sent someone to investigate the matter. The unfortunate General Zuo Wuwei and Li Junxian, the Duke of Wulian County, became Wu Zetian's substitute ghost. This Li Junxian not only has the word "Wu" in his place of origin and position, but also his nickname is also called "Three Niangzi". Li Shimin thought that the "heroine" of Li Chunfeng and the high-ranking people was Li Junxian, so he found an excuse to get rid of him.
Empress Wu Zetian realized that Li Junxian had died for himself, so he ordered li Junxian's official title to be recovered and buried with ceremonies. Of course, these are all afterwords, and wu Zetian has escaped the disaster. However, Wu Zetian's previous style left Li Shimin with a fierce impression. Therefore, before dying, Li Shimin deliberately tempted her: "After I die, what should you do?" At this time, Wu Zetian had been in the deep palace for 12 years, and naturally knew the meaning of Li Shimin's words. She was in a hurry and replied with 8 words: "Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, but the rest of her life." ”
Wu Zetian and Li Zhi
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and agreed with the idea. Li Shimin is a generation of Ming monarchs, in fact, it is not necessary to let the pregnant concubine be buried. It was only because Wu Zetian had a deep mind and felt that leaving her in the harem would make waves, so he would ask this question. Now that Wu Zetian had voluntarily gone to the monastery but spent the rest of his life, he did not have to give Wu Zetian death. After all, he was also his own pillow person.
Empress Wu Zetian
After the death of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Wu Zetian did first go to Ganye Temple as a nun. However, Li Shimin did not expect that as early as when he was seriously ill, Wu Zetian began to break off ties with his son Li Zhi and fascinated Li Zhi. So not long after, Li Zhi forcefully took her back to the palace. After that, Wu Zetian relied on superb political means to not only become an empress, but also became the only empress in Chinese history. It can only be said that time is also, fate is also, and luck is also!
